Abstract

This article introduces the present development status, medical insurance charges, publicity and influence, legislation and practice of acupuncture-moxibustion in Namibia, and proposes some countermeasures for the current problems in the development of acupuncture-moxibustion in Namibia. Namibia has passed legislation of acupuncture-moxibustion and incorporated acupuncture-moxibustion into the medical insurance system in March 2020. The acupuncture-moxibustion will enter the fast track of development, but the acupuncture-moxibustion education, training and cooperation, talent cultivation mode, reimbursement scope of medical insurance, and standardization construction still need to be steadily improved and strengthened.

介绍针灸在纳米比亚的发展现状、医保收费、宣传影响、立法从业等情况,对目前针灸在纳米比亚发展中存在的问题提出对策。2020年3月针灸通过了纳米比亚立法、纳入医保体系,中医针灸将进入发展的快车道,但在针灸教育、针灸培训合作、中医人才培养互通、中医医保报销范围、针灸标准化建设等方面还有待稳步推进和加强。.
